Customer Question

we have an Amana Refridgerator BX21TW Mfg # XXXXX - est. age: 12 yrs oldour bottom freezer has stopped working - we had a local tech visit - tech reported no coolant left in system - copper pipes eroded from high sulpher content in well water possible cause - tech does not recommend fixing and suggested purchasing new fridge. any thoughts? is corrosion of copper pipes common with high sulpher content water?

This is a common leak area on amanas. You are outside the 10 year part warranty that came with most amanas. If it has a leak there then the compressor, heat exchanger and the evaporator will have to be replace. We did this job for around $750. If this unit has been good to you it may be worth the repair. Also note that ice makers are good about 6 years and the lining will start coming off and should be replaced.
